Parquet floors are seeing a real resurgence at present. Why could this be? Parquet flooring really does add character to any room. Its interesting patterns and geometric shape means that it creates a statement. The wood finish applied can then completely transform its appearance.

There is also a huge range of commercial parquet floors. Whether they are school halls, village halls or other places with large spaces, parquet is hugely popular. We recently restored this parquet floor in County Durham. When we arrived, it had layers and layers of finish that needed stripping back.

The floor was regularly used so had also been scratched and damaged through this use. All surface coatings needed stripping back so that the process of restoring it to a better appearance could begin. The finish when we arrived was very dark and really offered a drab and unappealing look.

The wood floor was fully sanded with our dustless sanding machinery. This provides an exceptional and seamless finish.

Why is experience important when floor sanding?

There are many things that can go wrong in the floor sanding process. The machinery needs to be constantly moving when on to offer an even finish and to not over sand particular spots or areas. Different machines need to be used to cover the entire space and the application of wood finishes needs knowledge of how best to apply it.

With our experience we are able to offer the best-available service and finishes for all types of wooden floors. This ensures that a brilliant finish is achieved and that it is long-lasting and will remain looking great for as long as possible.

A natural finish was applied to the commercial wood floor and, as expected, it completely transformed the entire space. Our clients were really pleased with the result. They couldn’t believe the beautiful grain pattern of their floor as this had been masked by the previous wood finish and damage.

We are all invested in our floors. We spend a lot of money on laying them as well as cleaning them. There is no better feeling than that of pride when the floors in your home are looking clean. Therefore, it is important that the time and money that we invest is spent wisely.

The following advice has been put together in order to help you get more from your floors. We are time-served floor cleaning experts and we take great pride in our work. While we take on any job from cleaning to full restoration, we always work hard to leave our clients with information on how best to keep their floors clean.

Tip 1:

Place a door mat at every entry to your home. Even better; place an exterior one and an interior one at every doorway. This will mean that dirt tracked in on feet can be wiped on both surfaces and will reduce the particles that enter your home. Even the particles that we don’t see act like sandpaper to the surface coatings of your floors. Whether these are stone tiles, wood flooring or vinyl alternatives, all will be affected by sand and dirt.

Tip 2:

Keep up with routine cleaning. Leaving particles and dirt laying on your floor will likely speed up the deterioration of it. Routine and regular cleaning removes these particles so that they are not present to mark or damage the surface. This can mean daily hovering or dry mopping. Don’t underestimate the power of routine; get the whole family involved.

Tip 3:

When your routine cleaning isn’t cutting it any more and you feel like your floor is looking lack-lustred, call Absolutely Floor Restore. We are on hand to deep clean and restore your floors to look like new. We specialise in wood floor sanding and the cleaning of Amtico and stone floor tiles.

We thought this an appropriate topic due to the fact that cleaning stone floors and tiled floors really is a science. The use of incorrect product formulations can mean the difference between a beautifully cleaned floor and a damaged one. What’s made worse is that this damage can be, in some cases, irreversible.

Therefore, we have put together the following advice that briefly summarises some of the do’s and don’ts when cleaning your tiled floors:

DO

Seek the assistance of a local professional to deep clean and restore your tile floor

Make sure that the cleaning product that you have selected can be used on your particular type of tiles or stone

Test patch an area so that you are confident of the results you will achieve

Regularly remove all dry particles and dirt from your stone floors

Invest time cleaning the grout lines; this may be an arduous task but it is really important

DON’T

Use steam cleaners that can damage the surface protective layers of your stone floor

Rush the process as time invested in the use of the correct techniques can pay dividends to the end result

Leave dirt and particles to damage the surface of your tiles

Scrub areas as this will likely damage either the surface coatings or the tiles themselves

Use bleach products as these will likely cause damage

Cleaning tiles can sometimes feel like a losing battle. If you feel like this, it is likely that your stone floor needs re-surfacing anyway. You may be expending effort that can be saved with our stone floor restoration process.

Once completed, the cleaning of your stone floors becomes easier and more straightforward again. You start to see the results that you remember achieving straight after the floor was installed. Call us today on 0808 118 5747 to arrange a survey.
